"Where have you been since?" he coldly demanded

  "Where did I tell you I was going?" I asked harshly

  "Don't answer a question with a question West." he spoke angrily

   I said nothing dropping the bags on the floor and arranging them in place. I don't even know why he was angry, he should be glad I decided to come early.

  "Where were you West?" he furiously questioned.

  " Goodness, I was at the spa, salon, mall, food court Adrios, is that what you want to hear?" I asked frustrated

  "I don't like what you did with your hair." he stated sneaking up behind me to touch it.

"Well guess what Adrios. It's my hair not yours. I get to do what I want with it not giving a damn what you think." I angrily replied.

  I had gotten some extensions and straightened the hair, my hair. What's my business if he likes it or not. I'm not living my life to impress him.

  "You're so hot tempered kitten." he whispered in my ear.

  "Don't call me kitten." I snapped.

"Look who calls me bipolar." he said scoffing.

"Well you have a way of getting under my skin." I replied

  "I could get under your skin West." he said smirking and I rolled my eyes calling him a perverted idiot.

"Can't you even take a joke?"

"From someone yes but you Adrios, hell to the no no no." I said and he smiled a little.

  "You're so cute when you're angry baby." he said playing with my hair.

"For someone who doesn't like my hair you tend to play with it a lot."

  He ignored my comment and stepped back from me. "The beauty team will be here soon." he said before leaving.

  I sat on the bed and sighed. I knew he had been okay this past few weeks, I knew he was making an effort to get close to me and it really angered me. In as much as I wanted him I couldn't succumb to him. I didn't want to fall prey twice and besides we had less than seven months together.

  I followed his advice and slept after arranging all what I bought. I woke up to Kel tapping me lightly.

  "Oh what's it now Adrios?" I angrily asked, he didn't even let me rest properly.

  "It's six." He stated, there wasn't anything happening by six.

  "So? The event is by eight. Why do I have to get ready now? "

   "You're a woman, you ask me "he said and I rolled my eyes.

  "You should go shower first, the dress fitting starts immediately " He replied.

  I showered and put on a pink bath robe. When I got out they were already in the room. Tess  Melissa, Tasha and some other people I don't know of.

  "So what dress would you like to wear? "Tess ask showing me five different long gowns. The first one was black, second red then baby pink, fourth white and the last silver. Each gown is beautiful with its exquisite design but the silver one had called me more.

  I picked the silver and tried it on seeing it fit me perfectly Tasha started with my hair and she was putting it and cutting it off.

   "What the. Tasha I just did that "I exclaimed. 

  "I have a look for you, I'm sure you'd like it "

  Turns out she just made my hair the way was before. What an incredible look.

  "Seriously this is it? "I ask bored.

" Yes "she answered smiling

"It's not her fault Shayan, Kel told her to do that " Tess butts in

"Of course "I should have known Kel was in on this.

  They did everything that have to be done and I was good to go .I stopped by Evie's room to inform her.

"Sweetie, I'd be going out with Kel for an event okay"

"Okay when we you be back? "she asked

  "I don't know. Don't wait up for us okay. "

  "I want someone that will take care when we are away".  luckily Tess walked in.

"Hi since you are going out can I stay over with Evie !"she said

  "Of course,thanks " I excitedly said hugging her.

  "Bye baby." I said kissing her cheeks before  I left.

   I went downstairs to see Kel waiting for me at the foot of the step. He was dressed in a red plaid suit.

  "You look beautiful mi Bella." he said as I reached where he stood.

  I don't know why but him saying that made me smile a little and after realising I smiled I got annoyed, his comment wasn't supposed to make me smile.

"I like your hair better this way." he said touching it.

  "So that's why you told her to change it? It's my hair not yours." I snapped beating his hand away.

  "She did an excellent job." he said smirking.

  "I could hit you with my heels." I threatened.

  "But you wouldn't." he took my hand and led me outside to the limo.

    "It's a charity event for children with leukaemia." he informed after I asked what the charity event was for when we got inside the car.

"Oh, that's nice." I can't imagine what will happen to me if Evie had that and how I'd live with it. "How do I get to donate? "

  He told me how and I did. I can't imagine how those mothers will feel loosing their children to it and I felt like no one deserves that.  We got to the venue and as we stepped out of the limo we were flooded by paparazzi taking pictures and asking questions.

"Who're you wearing?" , "Who's the little girl that you've been pictured with?", "Is she Shayan's sister?",  "Did you guys adopt her?"

They kept on asking outrageous questions and we made no comment. Kel held my hand tightly the entire time as the bodyguards made way for us to pass through. Finally we entered the hall and it was filled with men and women elegantly dressed. I felt uncomfortable there. Someone ushered us to our seat and I couldn't help but look around when I sat. The place was filled with people of all kinds. They served us some snacks and wine and I went to the restroom after that. When I came back Kel was talking to a blonde woman dressed in a very revealing dress. Her gown was a red long one but it had a high slit and the front was revealing showing off her cleavage. I hated the thought of them standing close to each other, maybe he was even going to have her tonight. She laughed at something he said throwing her hair back and hitting his chest saying "stop." while laughing like a drunk idiot.

   She definitely irritated me and I walked up to meet them.

"Babe, who's this?" I asked putting my hands around him and he wasted no time putting his hands around my waist causing me to smile a little.

  "Oh, pardon me. I'm Marilyn Mandarin CEO of miss fashion industries." she introduced and in that moment I hated her. There was no way my introduction could beat hers.

  "Shayan Adrios, Kel's wife." I introduced

  "Oh,  you're the wife everyone's been talking of." she said looking at me from top to bottom in a disgusted way. What's her problem? "You're not so bad."

  "Yeah, she's not bad at all. The best actually." Kel replied smiling looking at me with so much adoration.

  "Wow, you must be able to pleasure him if he decides to keep you." she said and I felt like punching her. What's she insinuating?

"But I know no one beats me, isn't that right Kel darling?" she seductively said. I was furious in seconds, would it be wrong if I slapped her?

  "See you later. " Kel said taking my hands pulling me away from her.

  "Did you sleep with her? " I asked although I knew what the obvious answer would be.

  "It's in the past West and besides she's married." he answered.

  "Like that's going to stop any of you. " I scoffed walking away.

   I grabbed a drink from a waiter passing by and drowned it. There was a garden outside where some people were mingling. Looking around I saw one of my long lost friend Jason.

  "Shayan, it's been a while." he said pulling me to a hug.

"So long." I said smiling.  The last time I saw him was some weeks after prom.

  "You just disappeared from the face of the earth. I didn't see you and next thing I see is you guys getting married."

"Yes, I kinda left after that night at your place." I said, I remember that day. I had just found out I was pregnant and I went to him. He was like my best friend but also Kel's.

  "You could have told me Shay, I searched everywhere for you only for your parents to tell me you left town."

  "Yeah, I didn't want anyone to know my whereabouts."

  "Well, you guys finally got together at the end, that's what matters." he said and I smiled a little. I didn't want him thinking I wasn't happy about it.

  "We have a lot to talk about, did you... "

  He was caught off from his sentence when Kel came glaring at him putting his hands around my waist. I wanted to slap his hand away because I was still mad at him but I didn't want Jay knowing things weren't good between us. They used to be friends so I don't get Kel's attitude.

  "I warned you Angelo. I don't want you anywhere near my woman." Kel coldly said and I nearly scoffed.

"Aah. Good to see you too Adrios." Jason said sarcastically

"I won't hesitate to break your bones again if I see you with her Angelo so get going." he said harshly

  "This is my card Shayan, call me. " he said handing it to me but Kel took it harshly.

  "She wouldn't be needing it." he snapped pulling me away from there.

  We got to a quiet place and our yelling began.

  "What did you think you were doing with him? " he angrily demanded.

  "Talking of course until you came." I retorted.

  "Just talking? Why would he even give you his card?"
 
"To catch up obviously. What's your problem? "

  "Yeah it starts from catching up then meeting up to fvck each other." I slapped him after that statement. How could he think so little of me?

  "Isn't that what you wanted to do with Miss CEO? You had no problem when she was touching you calling you Kel darling. Why don't you go call her up and have her for the night. I'm sure both of you wouldn't mind. " I angrily said.

"So you think I was going to sleep with her? Why would you think I want someone else?" He looked frustrated, well I was too.

  "Why the hell would you even think I want Jay. I don't know what's wrong with your head Adrios but you have to get your shït together."

"I don't want you around Angelo or any other guy." he warned coldly.

"You're not going to control who I see or don't see Adrios." I said walking out.

  I was in search of the bathroom when someone pulled me to one. "So sexy as always Shayan baby." the voice sounded so familiar, Carlos?

  "What the hell is wrong with you?" I angrily asked shoving him away.

"Oh please, don't act as if you're not aware of my love for you. Just let me make love to you. I know this marriage with Kel is only a contract." he said forcefully pulling me touching me.

"Let me go you perverted bastard. There's no way anything is gonna happen between us. I'd never love you Carlos, never." I said pushing his hands away from my body but he kept on roaming around it.

  Carlos had this crazy lust for me since highschool and always tried hitting on me but I never paid attention to him.

"You're going to be all mine, all mine love." he said gripping my ass and that's when I began hitting him repeatedly, scratching and kicking.

He pushed me to the wall touching my body and I scratched him like a cat everywhere and then kicked him in his family jewels with my heels. He crouched down in pain and I hurried away from there. Did Carlos just try to rape me?

  He had messed up my clothes so I adjusted them and that's when I saw Kel.

"Why are you coming out of the men's restroom and why are you adjusting your clothes?" he asked suspiciously.
 
Before I could answer Carlos was out of the restroom. "You bìtch. " he angrily said charging towards me.

  "What's going on here?" Kel asked confused looking from me to him.

  "Well your bîtch here groped me in the restroom and when I refused to play with her she kicked me in the groin." Carlos said and I opened my mouth in shock.

  "That's not what happened."

"We're going home West. We'd talk about it later."

  So that was how we left the event. During the car ride no one said a word and there was too much tension in the air. When we got home he took my hands and pulled me inside.

"What was all that about?" he angrily asked.

"You're asking me?" I asked angrily

"Of course, who else should I ask, don't play fool and answer me, what was with you and Jason and what did you do with Carlos?"

"Why don't you go and ask Carlos. He was the one trying to rape me." I angrily asked.

  "And why would he do that? That makes no sense West."

"But makes sense that I'd go to the men's restroom to touch your friend and kick him in the groin for refusing to be with me ?what do you think I am?"

  "What do you think? If you're horny you could come to me not trying to rape my best friend." he said and I laughed sardonically.

  "You're way more stupid than I thought but it's cool, believe what you want." it stung that he didn't even believe me but hey this was Kel. I shouldn't expect much. I don't know why it hurt, I just nearly got raped and the man that's supposed to be my husband doesn't even trust my words.

"Carlos wouldn't do that." he confidently said.

"But I would right?" I asked the tears slipping. He didn't even trust me. How would he think that?

"Of course. And you're trying to hook up with Jason too?"

"You know what? That doesn't seem like a bad idea. "

"I won't have you cheat on me West. If it's not me it's no one."

  "But you can right? As if you weren't going to hook up with Miss CEO." I accused.

"I don't cheat West. I'm not like you."
 
  "You're crazy. I hate you so much Adrios. " I said escaping his grip running upstairs.

  I threw off my shoes and everything I was wearing. I got into the hot tub furiously washing my body while crying. He didn't even believe me, he just talked to me like I was some slût.
